I appreciate what you are saying. The ones from Europe are in the original "bubble packs" as in right out of the box so I believe they are the real strength. Plus, all of the "writing and three round indention's" are very, very clear. I have some prescribed one's also (1 mg ) but I am pretty much out. If I were to take all of the mg's that I take at night to sleep via the prescribed one's, I come up with the same mg that I take from Europe (I hope I am saying that right). In other words, the one's from Europe that are in bubble packs are the same strength as what I get prescribed so I am pretty sure they aren't weak. As you see from what I have quoted of myself and Silver, I don't know what to think now after last night. Today, I feel very sick. As I put with the quote from Silver, all I can do is "bare with these" for a couple of weeks.
